Technical description

The GOOSE parser contains an off-by-one boundary-handling flaw that can

be triggered by a single unauthenticated Layer-2 multicast frame on the

process bus. When specific GOOSE message fields are processed, the

parser advances its internal buffer position incorrectly, resulting in a

heap out-of-bounds read. On affected platforms, this condition reliably

terminates the subscriber process and causes a denial-of-service.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
